I starting position on the rod 2li, the arm 19 of the elbow lever will engage the abutment, and the lever will be swung into the dotted line position shown in Fig. 3. This movement will swing the lever 12 and the pawl carrier into the dotted line positions shown in F igs. 1 and 2, which will cause the ratchet Holders, of which the following is a speciwheel to be advanced a distance of three ication. teeth, thus turning the copy roll three Our invention is an improvement in paper Spaces. holders, and .consists in certain novel con- The space regulator consists of a plate 25, Structions and combinations .of parts hereprovided with a central opening through inafter described and claimed. which passes the shaft of the copy roll.

When sists of a pair of standards 3, only one of the regulatoris in the full line position shown in Fig. 2, with the spring pawl 30 in engagement with the notch 29, it will be evident that during the first two-thirds of its forward stroke the pawl will ride on the flange, and will not engage the ratchet wheel except during the last third, thus only moving the wheel one tooth or space. Them however, the regulator is in the dotted line position in the same figure with the spring pawl in engagement with the notch 28, the pawl will ride on the flange during the first third ot its forward stroke, and the wheel will be moved two teeth or spaces. A handle 33 is provided for turning the plate 25.

We claim:

The improvement herein described comprising a typewriter carriagea copy supporting roller provided with a ratchet Wheel, a frame supporting the sad copy roller from the typewriter carriage and having a rearwardly projecting arm, a bell crank lever pivoted to said rearwardly projecting arm, an abutment for engagement by one arm of said lever, an upright lever pivoted between its ends, a link connecting the lower end of said lever with the other arm of the Be it known that we, BENJAMIN F. PEETZ,

NELSON XV. THOMPSON, and HIEBARD S. i MGDANEL, citizens of the United States, and residents of Moro, in the county of Sherman and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and use'lul Improvements in Paperl l which is shown, arising from each end of] the carriage, and in the standards is journaled the copyroll 4., the ends oi' the shaft of the roll being provided with the usual heads 5, for turning the same by hand. A pawl carrier (i is journalcd by the center on the shaft roll, and one end of the carrier is provided with a pawl 7, normally pressed by a spring 9 into engagement with a ratchet wheel 8 secured to the shaft of the roll. The other end of the carrier is provided with va pin 10, engaging a slot 11 in one end of a lever 12, pivoted to the adjacent standard as at 13, and a spring 111 is provided for returning the lever and the awl carrier. A link 15 connects the other end of the lever with one arm 16 ot an elbow lever, pivoted as at 17,to a bracket 18, the adjacent standard 3. The other arm 19 of the elbow lever is sisting of an arm 2() extending upward from a sleeve 21 adjustable on the rod`22 of the typewriter and retained in its adjusted position by a set screw 23.

Itrwill be evident Jfrom the descri tion that when the carriage is moved bac to cally with the copy holding drum and havinglts lower, arm connected with the upper arm a pavvl carried by the ofsad upright-lever, upperarm o'fsaidllever and engaging with the ratchet Wheel of the copy holding roller and adjustable means whereby the operativeengagement of said pawl with said ratchet .wheel may be varied, all substantially as and for the pur oses set forth.'
